My guess is that gdb used to run all the commands in a command list,
including all the commands after "next" and "step".

Then someone wrote the test to expect that behaviour.

Then someone noticed that gdb was having trouble and changed gdb and
also updated the manual.  The prose in the manual gives me a feeling of
"this section got added in response to a bug".

I'd have to go way back into old archives to check out that theory.

Ah.  It _is_ a FAIL on RH 7.
